SP, -sMs- and BERSERK team up to bring you a twin room monster event on Sunday10th June (Queens Birthday Long Weekend) with a very special guest PENTA from SanFrancisco/Portugal performing live for the first time alongside some of Sydney's finest Dj's. Penta (SanFrancisco/Portugal) Russian born Nikita Tselovalnikov is a veteran of countless punk, rock and industrial projects. With 3 full albums under his belt and multiple V/A compilation releases he has been in continuously high demand at festivals and parties around the globe. With a very clean and pumping psychedelic sound that explodes with energy Penta is renowned for pushing dance floors to the next level. Once again we are very excited to be able to secure him for a Sydney performance in-between his busy global touring schedule. AuraQuake Music AuraQuake Music was established by Nikita Tselovalnikov and Catia Leitao in December 2004 as a platform to release fun, innovative and quality psychedelic music. The first three titles were - the second album by Penta “Funraiser” and compilations “Seismic Mood” and “Jitter Glow”. Presenting Penta’s third album “Horn Please”, AuraQuake continues to delight with its own take on the psychedelic story Horn Please Endless traveling, constant noise of the parties, life in hotels, as well as a considerable dose of couch-surfing, has accumulated in Penta’s head into something that resembles the chaos of Indian street traffic. Horn Please – the message that is written on the back of the sub-continent’s trucks could never been more appropriate to describe the desire to bring order to trance musician’s life. This CD, executed in the style of a Mumbai taxi, is a dedication to the crazy party life in the form of a collection of morning and night psytrance tracks, sometimes written in headphones in different parts of the globe, and already successfully tested on the biggest dance floors of the planet. Faster BPMs than in his previous albums, as well as the use of the latest technologies, makes “Horn Please” one of Nikita’s most psychedelic works to date.
